Career in Pizza Hut?

The other day I was at work (Pizza Hut), talking to my boss about his career and I learned some interesting things Pizza Hut. He dropped out of high school when he was 16 and took on a full time job at pizza hut. By the time he was 20, he was the general manager of pizza hut making about 45k per year, a very respectable income. So with very little education, he was able to achieve this.

Well now he is quitting because his girlfriend just got a job in Minnesota and is moving there with her. The guy replacing him is a driver who has less experience than I do(less than 3 months). He too dropped out of high school and has little experience as a manager. His only qualifications are that he takes his job extremely serious and has great work ethic. So just like that he's going from minimum wage with tips to 45 grand a year.

What this made me realize is how easy it is to move up the ladder at this establishment if you really want to. If you put a lot of effort into the job and wait for the right opportunity, you can move up that ladder.

The main reason I'm writing this post is that in an earlier post I made a comment about how much it would suck to be stuck working there. It's not that I am seriously considering this as a career, I just wanted to show that this definitely is not the worst possibility and has plenty of opportunities to move up.

So yeah, despite all this it's still not really something I want to pursue but if somehow forced into a situation where that was my only option, I'd probably be able to make the best of it.
